The Sludgelord Video Premiere - "The Smoke of Many Fires" Be'lakor

Intense, passionate and deeply moving melodic
death metal from Down Under

At The Sludgelord
we pride ourselves at introducing you to the very best music from the heavy
metal underground. So with superb album
premieres from Battle
Path and Hollow
Leg earlier this week, today
melodic death metal is on the menu, in the form of Aussie’s finest purveyors
of darkness, Be’lakor.

With the band set to release their brand new album “Vessels”
this Friday 24th June, an album described as “eight songs that with satiate your hunger
for progressive structures and technical prowess,” today at The Sludgelord we present
their brand new lyric video for “The Smoke of Many Fires” which you can
enjoy below. So if intense, passionate and deeply disquieting melodic death
metal is your thing, hit play and snap your neck to this 9 minute masterclass.

"Vessels
is the product of well over a year's hard work - without doubt, it's the album
that has challenged us the most. It's much richer and more textured than any of
our other albums. There are parts which sound like the Be'lakor that fans know,
while other sections might surprise some people. Our goal was to keep the music
exciting and varied, for us as much as for anyone else. Vessels is also our
first concept album, which has meant that lyrically we've really pushed
ourselves this time around. We hope our fans will enjoy it as much as we
do!"
